Adorable Owls & Using Microsoft Word for Digital Design

Whenever I create a design that I really, really love I usually like to see what it looks like in different color schemes. I illustrated these adorable owls in a tree and could not decide which of the 3 color schemes was best.

Pink Owls and Green Moon

Blue Owls and Gold Moon

Brown Owls and Yellow Moon

So, instead of choosing I have all 3 available for sale.

The file format provided is high-resolution, transparent PNG. This kind of file is so versatile. You can use it for print or web. It also has a transparent background. So, when you copy and paste the graphic there will be no background, just the graphic. Easy to digitally copy and paste onto a background image, even in Microsoft Word!

Cute Halloween Garland - An Easy DIY Decorating Project

Want a fun craft you can do with your kids to decorate for Halloween? Making garland is simple, inexpensive and loads of fun.

Here are the steps with photographs to illustrate.

Step 1: Prepare The Materials

• Printed Circle Clip Art - 2" in Diameter - 4-5 sheets on Heavy Cardstock. Ideally purchased from www.CraftyGraphicsScraps.Etsy.com
• A Circle Hole Punch - I recommend Fiskar as the best brand
• Liquid Glue
• Scissors
• Yarn or Cord of some time - I used sparkly gold to add to the cuteness.

Step 2:Cut Out the Circles

Step 3: Pair Up the Designs

Step 4: Glue The Circles
Glue them back to back sandwiching the string between them.

Step 5: Do As Many Strings as You Want, As Long as You Want!
There are no limits to how you design your garland. Make a little. Make a lot. Either way it's going to make a really colorful and festive decoration.

To purchase the shown designs or other Halloween Collage Sheets or Clip Art go to CraftyGraphics Scraps.

Happy Crafting!
